History Wrestling / Sable

* LesYay: It was subtext in her feud with Tori, and [[InvokedTrope overt]] when she came back in 2003 to feud with Torrie Wilson.

* PowerStable: Replaced the Jackyl as the leader of the Oddities following their face turn.

* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: It was subtext in her feud with Tori, and overt when she came back in 2003 to feud with Torrie Wilson.

'''Rena Mero-Lesnar''' (formerly Rena Greek) better known as '''Sable''', was one of the biggest stars of wrestling in Wrestling/{{WWE}} during the The Attitude Era. She was introduced in 1996 as the valet of Wrestling/TripleH and then Marc Mero before becoming hugely popular with the fans and thus was featured more prominently, WWE reviving their women's division and building it around her. However she was not a wrestler herself and so it was arguably her that started the trend of placing looks over wrestling ability in WWE. Regardless she is recognized as one of the first WWE Divas and was the first to coin the term, although technically Tammy Lynn "Sunny" Sytch and Terri "Marlena" Runnels were playing the Diva archetype before Sable arrived in the WWE. She was a 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Champion]].

!!!Provides examples of:

* {{Catfight}}: It's what she was best at.

* DomesticAbuse: Implied in Marc Mero's heel turn in late 1997, as he berated her constantly and looked to be on the verge of hitting her. She once took off her sunglasses and there was a bruise under one of her eyes, which was explained away as her having been kicked by her horse.

** Unless you count Stephanie attacking her in the parking lot and exposing both her breasts on national TV, which were blocked by a CensorBar.

* MoneyDearBoy: Was reportedly paid a huge amount of money for her appearance on ''Nitro''.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Invoked this when she left WWF, claiming sexual harrassment among other things. Her claims were disputed in court by various WWF executives. She won the rights to money made from Sable merchandise, but she didn't get the rights to the Sable gimmick or get her no-compete contract clause revoked so she could work for WCW.

** After leaving WWF, Sable was supposed to head to WCW, where she was planned to be the driver of the white hummer that hit Kevin Nash's van. But since she had a no-compete clause in her WWF contract, she wasn't allowed to work for WCW in any capacity.

* AmericanAccents: She's originally from Jacksonville, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}}, and her Southern accent did show up at times.

* CatFight: It's what she was best at.

!!Provides examples of:

* BarelyThereSwimWear: Her infamous bikini contest against Jacqueline where she had hands painted on her breasts. Her idea actually.

* ActorAllusion: Sable would always flip out in matches if her opponents went after her face. She had it written into her contract that she couldn't take bumps and for her match at ''[=WrestleMania=] 14'' her opponents were warned not to disfigure her in any way (she had a ''Playboy'' shoot coming up).

* ArchEnemy: Jacqueline, Luna and Torrie Wilson. Sunny in real life.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: For one of the most beautiful women in all of wrestling history, her character could be quite ugly on the inside. And if you believe JimCornette and various others who worked with her, it wasn't just her character either.

* ChristmasCake: Well, her husband BrockLesnar seems to [[LikesOlderWomen like older women]], and she's the reason why.

* DefeatByModesty: It's how she lost the first ever Evening Gown match. Inverted with how she lost the Women's Championship. She defeated Debra in an evening gown match but Shawn Michaels stepped in and stated that in his opinion the woman who had lost her dress was the real winner and awarded the title to Debra.

** Especially apparent in the ''{{Playboy}}''-sponsored match at ''[=WrestleMania=] XX'', in which she teamed with Torrie Wilson against Stacy Keibler and Jackie Gayda. Of those four, Sable participates the least, and in fact is hardly in the match at all.

* {{Irony}}: When she returned to WWE she did the very things she complained about in her lawsuit (appearing nude on TV, lesbian storylines etc).

** Unless you count Stephanie attacking her in the parking lot and exposing both her breasts on national TV.

* PopularityPower: At the peak of her career Sable was so popular that WWF reinstated its women's division just to give her something to do.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Twice. First with real life husband Marc Mero which was onscreen as well. Secondly with BrockLesnar of all people.

* TakeThat: Her LesYay angle with Torrie Wilson was actually one directed at Sable - see What Could Have Been below for details.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Of course she's aged fairly well but compare it to her dazzling looks when she first debuted.
